It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Business groups urge John Healey to show restraint on raising UK’s minimum wage. They claim lifting people out of poverty is inflationary. Can't recall millionaires restraining on profiteering, exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. Have they tried living on minimum wage? archive.ph/h0pVc

Comment on Reddit about this: "My mum tried to send a gift card to someone at the council who had helped her quit smoking. They turned it down because she wasn't allowed to accept gifts." And yet some MPs (and the authorities) think it's totally normal and fine to do this...

The arrogant face of fascism, smirking while the world's representatives file out to avoid the appearance of support for your fascist apartheid Zionist Israeli regime and it's terrorist IDF. When their is an international arrest warrant issued for your war crimes, genocide & crimes against humanity.
Nazi Netanyahu smirking from behind the UN podium while a large percantage of the Worlds leaders leave rather than listen to the lies of a war criminal, genocider & perpetrator of crimes against humanity. Truly evil!

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The thing about proportional representation is that it allows you to vote FOR something – as opposed to first-past-the-post where you often find yourself voting AGAINST something. That's a huge difference, and something most English voters have never experienced.
